Ryan Tumbleson has always been involved with goats and recently sold his animal upon the completion of the Ross County Fair tied to his 4-H project, but he decided to donate his proceeds to an organization that he says played an enormous role in his life.

The 16-year-old, who attends Southeastern High School, was diagnosed with leukemia at age 6 and received assistance from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For the past two years, Ryan has donated almost $2,000 directly back to the organization that grants wishes to children battling illnesses such as cancer.
